IN-OUT THERMOMETER
WITH CABLE FREE
SENSOR AND RADIO
CONTROLLED CLOCK
INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations with the purchase if the In/Out Thermometer
with wireless sensor and radio controlled clock.
The basic package comes with a main unit (the temperature /
clock station) and a remote unit (the thermo sensor).
The main unit has large displays for time/date, indoors
temperature and outdoors temperature as received from the
remote unit. The main unit can receive data from up to 3
remote units.
The main unit has a memory for maximum and minimum
reached temperatures of different sites.
The remote units have a range up to 30 meters, this
range can be influenced by several factors (concrete
walls, electric wires, other sending devices, etc.)
The sensors are weatherproof and can be used outdoors,
but should not be submerged into water or hung in a
place where rain can reach the unit.
The clock/calendar function is radio controlled. The day
can be displayed in 5 languages and the unit has a 2
minute crescendo weekly and daily alarm.
The clock is synchronised with the atom clock in Frankfurt
Germany, this clock has a range of 1.500 km and your
clock will receive the time signal 12 to 24 times a day
and will correct, if necessary. When you first operate
your clock, it can take up to 60 minutes before the radio
signal is received and the correct time is set.

When you put the main unit and the remote unit next toe ach
other, you will notice a minimal difference in temperature.
This is caused by the software used and the insulation of the
outdoors sensor, this sensor is calibrated on the average
outdoors temperature, whereas the main unit is calibrated on
the average indoors temperature. This is no defect in the units
A FOUR-LINE DISPLAY
Facilitates easy reading of remote and indoors
temperatures and calendar clock
At temperatures below freezing point the operation can be
distorted, this is caused because the batteries cannot deliver
the power needed to operate the unit correctly.
You can avoid this by using branded batteries and change
them just before the winter starts.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the
main unit.
2. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the
remote unit.
3. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective
transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is
20 to 30 meters.
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the
building materials and where the main and remote units
are positioned. Try various set-ups for best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should
be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel
3. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure
its screws.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly
according to the polarities shown.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.

LOW BATTERY WARNING
When it is time to replace batteries, the respective low-battery
indicator will show up on the indoor or outdoor temperature.
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between
the reading shown on the main unit and that on the
remote unit.
HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND
OR WALL MOUNTING
The main unit has a removable table stand, which when
connected, can support the unit on a flat surface. Or you can
remove the stand and mount the unit on a wall using the
recessed screw hole. As for the remote unit, you can place it
on a flat surface or mount the unit on a wall using the
recessed screw hole.
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND
INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The indoors temperature is shown on the second line of
the display. The outdoors temperature is shown on the top
line of the display. The wave display on the outdoors
temperature indicates the reception of the remote unit is
in good order. If no readings are received from the remote
unit for more than two minutes, blanks “
” will be
displayed until further readings are successfully searched.
Check the remote unit is sound and secure. You can wait for
a little while or Hold [ ] for 2 seconds to enforce an
immediate search. If the temperature goes above or below
than the temperature measuring range of the main unit or
the remote unit (stated in specification), the display
will show “ ”
GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start
transmitting temperature readings at around 45 seconds
intervals. The main unit will also start searching for signals
for about two minutes once batteries are installed.
Upon successful reception, the outdoors temperatures will
be displayed on the top line and the indoors temperature
on the bottom line. The main unit will automatically update
its readings at about 45-second intervals.
If no signals are received, blanks “ ” will be displayed.
Hold [ ] for 2 seconds to enforce another search for
about 2 minutes. This is useful in synchronizing the
transmission and reception of the remote and main units.
HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status
of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
The unit is in searching mode.
Temperature readings are
securely registered.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor and outdoor
temperatures will be automatically stored in memory.
To display them,
Press [ MEM ] once to display the maximum temperature
and again the minimum temperature. The respective
indicators, [ MAX ] or [ MIN ] will be displayed.
To clear the memory, hold down [ MEM ] for two seconds.
The maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased.
If you press [ MEM ] now, the maximum and minimum
temperatures will have the same values as the current ones
until different readings are recorded.
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor
temperature goes blank, Hold [
] for 2 seconds to
enforce an immediate search.
If that fails, check:
1. The remote unit is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit.
Replace as necessary.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point,
the batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their
voltage supply and the effective range.
3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of
obstacles and interference. Shorten the distance when
necessary.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells,
home security systems and entry controls, may interfere
with those of this product and cause temporarily reception
failure. This is normal and does not affect the general
performance of the product. The transmission and reception
of temperature readings will resume once the interference
recedes. Different channel may be reduce the interference.
